ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- His psychologist has warned Robert Wickens to consider the worst possible scenarios as he recovers from a spinal cord injury.
Wickens prefers to think only about the day when he is no longer in a wheelchair and able to race cars again.
"There's a mental aspect that I'm still having a hard time accepting," Wickens said Friday in an interview with The Associated Press. "When I see a chair, I want to sit in that chair, I don't want to sit in my wheelchair. Right now, I feel like it's purely just a temporary transportation system until I get something better.
